Popular Post Pauly Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Removed the pannier rack and wiped down the shiny parts. The tires appear to be original, as this only has 5200 miles on it. Ordered new Pirelli Angels for it today. Going to give it a very mild shakedown ride tomorrow due to questionable rubber and holiday police presence. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pauly Posted July 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 333 miles. Took 93/83/78/377/550/26/800 and had breakfast at the Triple Nickel Diner. Tires are horrible. The quick shifter isn't as smooth as the GSA, but it functions. The windscreen has two positions... loud and louder. The brakes will get a fluid exchange this week because I think it's running the original fluid. They have two settings.. slightly slowing and endo, but boy do they stop that bike right now. The engine belongs in a sportbike. It's so good. Torque everywhere. Riding position isn't hateful and the seat is decently supportive for a stock pad. The suspension is without flaw, although more harsh than the GSA over bumps. I presume the lack of telelever is the culprit and I am just spoiled. The dash is meh, but easy to use once you figure out which button does what. Cruise control on a sportbike should be mandatory. I like being able to touch the ground with both feet at a stop. 10/10, would purchase again. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Took my dad and brother to iron pony for some gear shopping. My brother hasn’t ridden in a decade so he did some upgrading on gear. Did a little bit of air filter maintenance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSerfozo Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Moved my bike out of the way so I could get to my tire changer. Helped a friend change tires on his MT-10. A couple other guys stopped by to help, drink coffee, and generally hang out in the garage. It was a good morning with good friends! 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Tires replaced and wheels reinstalled on the GSA. 2400 miles of the Smokeys put a hurting on them. New tires came in for the RS, so they're being installed tomorrow. Had to pull the muffler to get the rear wheel off. That would suck if it took longer than 30 seconds to remove. Tomorrow's adventure will be Helibar installation. Right now it's bed time because I've been doing actual work this week and I am too tired to attempt it tonight.

JustinNck1 Posted July 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Got out with my dad and brother for a KLR riding day. Made it over to Moonville tunnel. Had to cut the ride a little short (brother went down and his knee was swelling pretty bad). Overall, great riding though. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Swapped out the GPS for a charging cradle for my phone. No more fancy TFT integration like the GSA has on board. Time to live like the rest of the serfs. ...and Goldwings suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Changed the oil and added an extended stud on the positive battery terminal in case I ever need to jump it. Tomorrow is front brakes in preparation for a NC trip with the wife in two weeks. Left my GPS installed, since it runs Android Auto and the bike came with a place for the phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
